This change the attribute binding scheme to something similar to the
curves objects. Attributes are now buffer textures sampled per points.
The actual geometry is now rendered using an index buffer that avoid too
many vertex shader invocation.
Drawcall is wrapped in a DRW function to reduce complexity of future
changes.
The attribute node already allows accessing attributes associated
with objects and meshes, which allows changing the behavior of the
same material between different objects or instances. The same idea
can be extended to an even more global level of layers and scenes.
Currently view layers provide an option to replace all materials
with a different one. However, since the same material will be applied
to all objects in the layer, varying the behavior between layers while
preserving distinct materials requires duplicating objects.
Providing access to properties of layers and scenes via the attribute
node enables making materials with built-in switches or settings that
can be controlled globally at the view layer level. This is probably
most useful for complex NPR shading and compositing. Like with objects,
the node can also access built-in scene properties, like render resolution
or FOV of the active camera. Lookup is also attempted in World, similar
to how the Object mode checks the Mesh datablock.
In Cycles this mode is implemented by replacing the attribute node with
the attribute value during sync, allowing constant folding to take the
values into account. This means however that materials that use this
feature have to be re-synced upon any changes to scene, world or camera.
The Eevee version uses a new uniform buffer containing a sorted array
mapping name hashes to values, with binary search lookup. The array
is limited to 512 entries, which is effectively limitless even
considering it is shared by all materials in the scene; it is also
just 16KB of memory so no point trying to optimize further.
The buffer has to be rebuilt when new attributes are detected in a
material, so the draw engine keeps a table of recently seen attribute
names to minimize the chance of extra rebuilds mid-draw.

The CameraTexCoFactors being only valid for a single view, and being only

This also removes the need to compute the persmat and saves some memory

Initial testing found no major performance regression during vertex

For the Metal shader translation support for shader-global uniforms are remapped via macro's, and in such cases where a uniform name matches a vertex attribute name, compilation errors will occur due to this injected syntax being incompatible with the immediate code.
Also adding source-level function interface alternatives where sized arrays are passed in. These are not supported directly in Metal shading language and are instead handled as pointers. These pointers require explicit address-space qualifiers in some cases, if device/constant address space memory is passed into the function.

This replaces the direct shader uniform layout declaration by a linear
search through a global buffer.
Each instance has an attribute offset inside the global buffer and an
attribute count.
This removes any padding and tighly pack all uniform attributes inside
a single buffer.
This would also remove the limit of 8 attribute but it is kept because of
compatibility with the old system that is still used by the old draw
manager.
This is a new implementation of the draw manager using modern
rendering practices and GPU driven culling.
This only ports features that are not considered deprecated or to be
removed.
The old DRW API is kept working along side this new one, and does not
interfeer with it. However this needed some more hacking inside the
draw_view_lib.glsl. At least the create info are well separated.
The reviewer might start by looking at `draw_pass_test.cc` to see the
API in usage.
Important files are `draw_pass.hh`, `draw_command.hh`,
`draw_command_shared.hh`.
In a nutshell (for a developper used to old DRW API):
- `DRWShadingGroups` are replaced by `Pass<T>::Sub`.
- Contrary to DRWShadingGroups, all commands recorded inside a pass or
sub-pass (even binds / push_constant / uniforms) will be executed in order.
- All memory is managed per object (except for Sub-Pass which are managed
by their parent pass) and not from draw manager pools. So passes "can"
potentially be recorded once and submitted multiple time (but this is
not really encouraged for now). The only implicit link is between resource
lifetime and `ResourceHandles`
- Sub passes can be any level deep.
- IMPORTANT: All state propagate from sub pass to subpass. There is no
state stack concept anymore. Ensure the correct render state is set before
drawing anything using `Pass::state_set()`.
- The drawcalls now needs a `ResourceHandle` instead of an `Object *`.
This is to remove any implicit dependency between `Pass` and `Manager`.
This was a huge problem in old implementation since the manager did not
know what to pull from the object. Now it is explicitly requested by the
engine.
- The pases need to be submitted to a `draw::Manager` instance which can
be retrieved using `DRW_manager_get()` (for now).
Internally:
- All object data are stored in contiguous storage buffers. Removing a lot
of complexity in the pass submission.
- Draw calls are sorted and visibility tested on GPU. Making more modern
culling and better instancing usage possible in the future.
- Unit Tests have been added for regression testing and avoid most API
breakage.
- `draw::View` now contains culling data for all objects in the scene
allowing caching for multiple views.
- Bounding box and sphere final setup is moved to GPU.
- Some global resources locations have been hardcoded to reduce complexity.
What is missing:
- ~~Workaround for lack of gl_BaseInstanceARB.~~ Done
- ~~Object Uniform Attributes.~~ Done (Not in this patch)
- Workaround for hardware supporting a maximum of 8 SSBO.

This new implementation does all downsampling in a single compute shader
dispatch, removing a lot of complexity from the previous recursive
downsampling.
This is heavilly inspired by the Single-Pass-Downsampler from GPUOpen:
https://github.com/GPUOpen-Effects/FidelityFX-SPD
However I do not implement all the optimization bits as they require
vulkan (GL_KHR_shader_subgroup) and is not as versatile (it is only
for HiZ).
Timers inside renderdoc report ~0.4ms of saving on a 2048*1024 render for
the whole downsampling. Note that the previous implementation only
processed 6 mips where the new one processes 8 mips.
```
EEVEE ~1.0ms
EEVEE-Next ~0.6ms
```
Padding has been bumped to be of 128px for processing 8 mips.
A new debug option has been added (debug value 2) to validate the HiZ.
These are meant to provide easy shape and AABB operation for culling.
They are currently incomplete but can be extended as one see fits.
The `common_debug_shape_lib.glsl` contains helper to draw thoses shapes.
This is a complete rewrite of the draw debug drawing module in C++.
It uses `GPUStorageBuf` to store the data to be drawn and use indirect
drawing. This makes it easier to do a mirror API for GPU shaders.
The C++ API class is exposed through `draw_debug.hh` and should be used
when possible in new code.
However, the debug drawing will not work for platform not yet supporting
`GPUStorageBuf`. Also keep in mind that this module must only be used
in debug build for performance and compatibility reasons.
The new implementation leverage compute shaders to reduce the
number of passes and complexity.
The max blur amount is now detected automatically, replacing the property
in the render panel by a simple checkbox.
The dilation algorithm has also been rewritten from scratch into a 1 pass
algorithm that does the dilation more efficiently and more precisely.
Some differences with the old implementation can be observed in areas with
complex motion.

Addendum to previous fix, which was for point selection, this fixes the
face selection mode. The issue is caused by wrong flags used for paint
mode (the edit mode flag was always used). Also add back flag which was
accidentally removed in 16f5d51109.
The normals flags were not setup properly which made normals for all
elements (vertices, faces) to be drawn when using the normals overlay.
Also remove usage of uints for the flag in the APIs.
Also fix formating of `curves_attribute_element_id` which was copy pasted.

Faces, edges, and vertices are still shown when GPU subdivision is
actived. This is because the related edit mode flags were ignored by the
subdivision code.
The flags are now passed to the various compute shaders mostly as part of
the extra coarse data, also used for e.g. selection. For loose edges, a
temporary buffer is created when extracting them. Loose vertices are
already taken into account as it reuses the routines for coarse mesh
extraction, although `MeshRenderData.use_hide` was not initialized,
which is fixed now.
This adds support to render Curves attributes in EEVEE.
Each attribute is stored in a texture derived from a VBO. As the
shading group needs the textures to be valid upon creation, the
attributes are created and setup during its very creation, instead
of doing it lazily via create_requested which we cannot rely on
anyway as contrary to the mesh batch, we do cannot really tell if
attributes need to be updated or else via some `DRW_batch_requested`.
Since point attributes need refinement, and since attributes are all
cast to vec4/float4 to account for differences in type conversions
between Blender and OpenGL, the refinement shader for points is
used as is. The point attributes are stored for each subdivision level
in CurvesEvalFinalCache. Each subdivision level also keeps track of the
attributes already in use so they are properly updated when needed.
Some basic garbage collection was added similar to what is done
for meshes: if the attributes used over time have been different
from the currently used attributes for too long, then the buffers
are freed, ensuring that stale attributesare removed.
This adds `CurvesInfos` to the shader creation info, which stores
the scope in which the attributes are defined. Scopes are stored
as booleans, in an array indexed by attribute loading order which
is also the order in which the attributes were added to the material.
A mapping is necessary between the indices used for the scoping, and
the ones used in the Curves cache, as this may contain stale
attributes which have not been garbage collected yet.
Common utilities with the mesh code for handling requested
attributes were moved to a separate file.

This uses the recently introduced evaluator's vertex
data to smoothly interpolate original coordinates instead
of using linear interpolation.
The orcos are interpolated at the same time as positions
and as such, the specific subdivision routine for the
orco extractor has been removed. The patch evaluation
shader uses a definition to enable code specific to
orco evaluation.
Since the orco layer may not have been requested on first
render, and since orco data is now stored in the OpenSubDiv
evaluator, the evaluator needs to be recreated if an
orco layer is suddenly available. For this, a callback
to check if the evaluator has the data was added. This is
added to the evaluator as the `Subdiv` cache stored in the
modifier is invalidated less often than the Mesh batch cache
and so leads to fewer evaluator recreations.
